Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974,
as amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the
workers in such workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have
contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on October 24, 2012 by workers on behalf of workers of
AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company, a subsidiary of AXA
Financial, Inc., Benefits, Payment and Accounting Group,
including on-site leased workers from Kelly Services and
Continuiti, Syracuse, New York. The workers' firm is engaged
in activities related to the supply of financial services.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the supply of services
like or directly competitive with the financial services
supplied by the workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at AXA Equitable Life Insurance
Company, a subsidiary of AXA Financial, Inc., Benefits,
Payment And Accounting Group, Syracuse, New York.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of AXA Equitable Life
Insurance Company, a subsidiary of AXA Financial, Inc.,
Payment and Accounting Group, Syracuse, New York, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of financial
services, meet the worker group certification criteria under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance
with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company, a
subsidiary of AXA Financial, Inc., Payment and Accounting
Group, including on-site leased workers from Kelly
Services and Continuiti, Syracuse, New York, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after October 23, 2011 through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened
with total or partial separation from employment on the
date of certification through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act
of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 19th day of November, 2012
